Confirming the clubs plans to the Official Club Website, Royle said: "We will definitely be appealing. At the time I thought it was just a tangle of legs but having watched it on tape, I'm not even sure there was even contact.
"The ball was going through to our 'keeper so there was no danger and the referee had a big decision to make. For some reason he looked across at the linesman and then made the decision. He's made a mistake."
